Item ROS-KSW

I had surgery on my right ankle for torn ligaments and a tendon, thus no weight bearing for a month. Forget crutches. I cannot give enough praise to the Roscoe knee roller. Seriously, this product gives you instant mobility from day 1, post surgery. I read numerous reviews and settled on Roscoe. It is very well constructed, super easy to assemble (basically you snap the handle bars and seat in place and slide the basket on) and you are off. I highly recommend ordering before your surgery so you can get comfortable with the scooter however it is so easy to use you only need a few zips around your floor space to feel confident. The turning radius is limited, however still very sufficient . All of the scooter brands have an issue with this, however it can easily be picked up to adjust. I’m getting pretty good with three point turn arounds if needed. Ha! The scooter style I ordered is around 22 lbs however not too heavy to lift the handlebars if needed to adjust if you are in a tight place. I am 5’ 5”, weigh 120 lbs and 69 years old. The scooter’s capacity is 350 lbs. It’s also super easy to collapse to put in your car. The basket is ESSENTIAL and I would recommend that you get one. The Roscoe model I ordered came with a large basket to carry all of my needs and more, phone, bowl of breakfast cereal, medical needs and meds, you name it. I was concerned about wheel durability as that seemed to be an issue with a lot of brands. However, I have used mine on aggregate floors, carpets, pavers and concrete. No problems at all. Obviously carpeting with a higher pile gives you resistance however still manageable. I have not gone on grass, dirt, or muddy ground so can’t speak to “four wheeling” if you have that need. The hand brake can be adjusted however mine was set perfectly. The handle bars and knee rest are adjustable. The seat also adjusts to a right or left leg injury. I bought the Roscoe sheep skin (faux) seat cover which is also a must. It fits very tight for my model however has not come off or been a problem. My model has the two piece seat which works for my cast. As for the practical, you will figure out what position you have to park your scooter in to slide on and off your toilet. This is where the weight of the scooter is helpful to assist you with sitting down or standing up. I don’t have bars to assist in my bathroom. I can’t find one thing I would change. Even the color, maroon with black, is perfect for our WAZZU, GO COUGS! family. Thank you Roscoe for building a quality product at a reasonable price that has truly bettered my life. D. Barrett Follow up to my above review (almost 4 weeks later)... I am now 5 days away from my cast removal and the next phase of my recovery which includes a walking boot. I will be using my scooter only when I need to rest my ankle. I can now speak to "four wheeling", scooting over the grass and I can happily say my Roscoe did not disappoint. I did feel every roll and bump in the lawn however seriously, it's not a vehicle with shocks and springs so get over it and be thankful it will get you from point A to point B. We also live on a hill and have a very steep driveway which I needed to go down with my knee roller a few times. My husband simply stood in front of me and backed down with me using the brake intermittently. I never felt like I was on the verge of tipping or unable to stop. I have been able to shower independently and function in and outside of my home with a freedom that crutches would never have given me. In a couple of weeks, my Roscoe knee roller will be boxed back up and saved for possible future needs as it has become a family member. Ha!

After going though a hip replacement last year, I found out that I needed a ankle replacement this year. My doctor recommended a knee scooter and so I began a search for one on Amazon. I did at first try a medical supply house as my doctor suggested, but the same products as on Amazon cost almost 4 times as much at one of those locations! Since I am paying for my own, I chose Amazon to do my research on and selected this product after looking through the various ones listed. Here is what I found: 1. My surgery was 10 days ago, so I have been using this product for the last 9 days. I ordered the unit ahead of surgery to have a chance to try it, assemble it, and return it if necessary. 2. There was no need to return this as the product arrived exactly as described and took only about 10 minutes to put together and another 10 minutes to adjust it so that it comfortably fit me. 3. The fit and finish of all of the part is outstanding!!!!! 4. The disk break that is part of this knee scooter is FANTASTIC. A friend of mine had a different type that used essentially bolt heads to press into the wheels to slow it down and that was a TERRIBLE design. This design quickly and easily stops the unit. As an additional feature, if you push the handle away instead of gripping it, you set a parking brake!! While this may not sound like something you need, it is an ESSENTIAL part of the knee scooter! You will be surprised at how many places you go to that are not even and without the brake you will be fighting to have your unit stay in place. 5. The included basket is of very good quality and includes very heavy duty attachment points and a convenient handle to carry items in the basket. Again, you may not think a basket is necessary, but you will quickly find that it is ESSENTIAL since you cannot carry things in your hands and use the scooter safely. 6. The wheels roll easily and the ball bearing design means that this scooter can quickly get up to a fast speed and that if left on even the most gentle of slopes, will roll away on its own!! So, Always use the parking brake!!! 7. I figured that I would probably use the electric chairs that places like Costco provide when I went there instead of the knee scooter. So, today I went to Costco with my wife and took my knee scooter. I figured on parking it inside Costco and using the electric chair. Well, it was so easy to use getting from the van to the entrance that I told my wife I would just try using the scooter instead of getting one of the available electric chairs. Glad I decided on doing that. It was no effort to glide all over Costco and my wife gave up trying to keep up with me. Instead she sent me on errands to get things and bring them back to her. Glad I had that basket!!!! When I went into this I never expected that a medical device would be anything other than a hassle, much like crutches. Instead, I have found that this little device makes things very easy indeed to accomplish and gives me a lot of mobility. I cannot recommend this unit highly enough!!!!!!! I am extremely pleased with it.

El peso es perfecto, lo ¡puedo cargar con una mano para subir al coche apoyado en un pie, retraer el volante para que quepa en la cajuela no quita mas de 5 segundos, el material es excelente, las llantas son de buena calidad y muy facil de maniobrar. me ha hecho este mes de fractura mucho mas sencillo que lo que esperaba con muletas, Recomendado al 100%!!!!

Llegó al día siguiente de que lo pedí, cosa que agradezco, me operaron del pie y llevo 8 semanas usándolo, así uno tiene más movilidad es estas circunstancias, es cómodo y la otra pierna no carga con todo el peso del cuerpo, recomiendo que se compre también los forros acolchonados que venden para proteger la rodilla ya que con el paso del los días va doliendo.

Excelente calidad y funcionalidad, con servicio express. Excelente

Muy practico, me ayudó mucho a no tener que usar muletas y es plegable así que entraba en una cajuela relativamente pequeña.

Excelente muy útil para desplazarse cuando tengas fractura de pie
